MUSIC THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

I had a blast hosting family and friends for Quinnies first birthday party! It was by far the biggest group of people I’ve hosted and the most decor I’ve ever made. I DIY’d a bunch of items since I wanted a music themed party with pink, silver and orange. Every time I tried to find music party decor it was always in black and red so I had to make my own!

I kept the food super simple since I was spending the majority of my time prepping the house with decor. For food I didn’t want anything that had to stay hot or cold and I needed to accommodate both meat eaters and vegans. Because of this, I did a make your own sandwich bar with vegan and regular meat, cheese, and condiment options. I also had a relish tray, fruit, pre-made dips, and potato salad. For drinks I had sweet tea, OJ, Processco, Beer, water, and punch. For dessert I made two kinds of cupcakes - this box funfetti cake with vanilla icing, and this recipe for an AMAZING vegan chocolate cake.

I always want to have activities for everyone to do so we had a “decorate your own maraca station” with stickers, a temporary tattoo station with music themed tattoos, a bounce house in the front yard, and our playroom was open to use as well.

The goody bags were tailored to each child because some kids were older, some were toddlers, and we even had some infants. I collected packs of stuff here and there for MONTHS, always popped into the Dollar Tree every time they changed seasons, and bought stuff all over the internet. I had SO much fun making each bag for each child.

Let’s be honest, decor was my main focus! I spent months making the ceiling streamers, the backdrop, the highchair streamers, the custom cupcake face toppers, and shopping around collecting items that matched the theme.
